Comments: none 

The Curriculum for Excellence through Outdoor Learning document (previously known as Outdoor Learning Framework document) will be published in the Spring of 2010. This work was directed by the Outdoor Learning Strategic Advisory Group (OLSAG) set up by the Scottish Government in August 2008. The document will contain the following:

• a Ministerial Foreword, Introduction and Contents
• a Vision and Rationale
• Outdoor Learning within Curriculum for Excellence
• Sections on progressive experiences, planning, learning and teaching outdoors, residential experiences etc.
• Health and Safety considerations
• Implementation

The guidance documentwill also be at the online resource which will also go live in Spring 2010. It has been written to enable all practitioners to offer more outdoor learning opportunities to children and young people, across all levels, in a progressive way and to maximise use of the outdoors as a learning context.
